Just get http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19106 from Alterac Valley it has better stats and high top end damage.Crusader strike does 75%-90% weapon damge depending on talents instantly, wich means weapon with higher damage is better. Also I think Judgements do more damage with a slow high damage weapon.

Edit: Yeah I was wrong about the judgement thing, but still this axe sucked before patch 4.0.6, and I was stupid enough to use it till 60 on my first pala and not get the polearm from Alterac Valley quest at 51.

Judgements do not benefit at all from your weapon in any way other than the stats that are on the weapon.

Example; Seal of Truth Unleashing this Seal's energy will deal Holy damage to an enemy,

SPH stands for Spell Power Holy and AP is Attack Power. Those are the only things that multiply into a Judgement's damage. Except obvious other things, like this seal has this increased by 10% for each application of Holy Vengeance on the target. Which is increased damage for each stack of the Debuff DoT that this seal applies on hit. (stacks 5 times)

This axe is now a perfectly viable weapon with its re-tuning.

Now has a 3.60 speed as opposed to it's old 2.60 speed.

If you ever feel the need to make your character the all star dunking champion, Darius of Noxus. This is the axe for it.

this ax wasn't that bad at all it had great stats on it and it still does. Now of course it has the famous "slow weapon ggness" and really good stats, str, crit, stamina

Just because it was fast doesn't automatically qualify it as crap, seriously. I don't know, someone really needs to debunk this stupid myth. 2 of the best enchants, crusader and icy chill ( what people usually enchanted their weapons) and because ret pallies didn't have slows(icy chill hello) would proc mostly from fast attacks so you actually wanted a fast weapon...more auto attacks=more procs. They of course gave ret pallies a slow with the seal swtch later on in lich king and few weeks before the xpac hit but no ret pallies had no slows and that's a factAngerforge was usually farmed anyway for the tank armor and trinket he dropped so chances of getting this ax was high

Icier barbed spear and waveslicer didn't come out until later in the game so this was practically the axe

the model is nice as well, clean, normal-looking "Viking battle axe", albeit it looks fairly small for a 2-hander.
